I really don't want to go to PDT or PSA. If they do merge seems like there could be fist fights in the cockpit. Idk ha. As for the pipeline program there is a contract and a 5 k buyout as far as I know. I haven't dug deep into it yet, but will on my off days. AA pays me I don't know exactly how it works but they do sign my checks. Envoy also came recruiting at my school with a upper management from AA who had nothing but good news to say , I was confused to say the least after reading through all these posts.
